I don't have much opinion on increasing or decreasing the numbers, but this will just eliminate the abuse of the system where a corporation can essentially run a slave temp agency. I like it.
I remember many years ago I purchased The Sims for my wife. The install wouldn't work. I called tech support and they told me that it sounded like what happens when someone removed a pirated version and tried to install the official copy. I just said Yeah, that's what I did. They seemed to appreciate my honesty and willingness to pay for it and helped me clear the registry of the offending entries that let me install the legit copy.
By naughty I did mean illegal. I heard of that one before. There was an article I read a few years ago listing all the in-game tricks to get the pirates, good read if you can find it.
This could be a pretty big change for LinkedIn. I forsee more people using it. I also think it could make corporations be wary and start using other services.
Well you're talking law. I was talking language, which often does not match what super intelligent elected officials write. I looked up the definition and it does indeed say 2 now. I think it evolved to match law, but it used to mean 5 or more.
Many of the systems I see around are identical to the models I was putting in place in 2009. They need to upgrade, and anything to pressure them to do so is a good idea IMO.
I'll take your word on it. I used to be in the IT field, but joined the Air Force at 26 and have been doing space stuff since, so my exposure to linux hasn't been professional in a long time. Not surprisingly my IT experience has helped in many situations, however. I install it on stuff every few years to play with it. I currently have Cinnamon on an old Mac Mini in the kitchen, but that's it.
I've never really sold old games, so not sure. I've never had one stop working even when I was not internet connected, but I know there are some that do that. I have seen some anti-cheat stuff, but I don't really play online for much of anything.
Your post is full of assumptions. I don't really play much in the way of FPS, unless you count Deus Ex, which is a RPG FPS. I have had minimal issues with DRM I've encountered. Windows 10 has many settings that cannot be turned off.
It's been a while since I checked. I'll have to take a look again. It's a shame I bet the files stored on my SSDs likely wouldn't share data and if I dual installed I'd have to pick between. I'll look into it when I get home.
Playstation is not a good system for my gaming needs. I had a PS3 and played a few games, but then most of what I kept it around for showed up on Steam (FFX, Tales of series, etc). I know the PS4 is better than the Xbox One, but I can't stand controllers when keyboard and mouse are there. Microsoft is showing they suck, but it's still superior for my needs.
Yeah, I didn't see any judgement on that. It isn't optional if you're a primarily PC gamer. I've installed Steam on MacOS and seen a pretty small selection of games, and those were mostly big enough to justify what was likely just a Wine compatible port (like EVE Online). I don't even know if they support Linux, but I imagine the selection is pretty slim.
Of course it is. It does not mean that this is a good business practice. Things like this erode trust and perceived reliability. I know I look forward to the day when an alternative gaming operating system rivals Windows via Steam. Currently there's no comparison, which is truly sad.
Currently deployed, so my phone wont adopt the new version. I really wonder how bad this can be if so many people hate it. I'm still running the old version and getting updates regularly to it.
Sorry you can't read. I said "even if they need to be internet connected" so that humans above fundamental reading levels could understand that the operational systems could be on the internet, but that users would not click on ads while using them, that they would have isolated systems for browsing.

Dude, Microsoft Word has been able to save PDF to DOCX and back for years.
You aren't making any sense. They don't sell the code more than once and it states that very clearly. They SELL the code and RENT the disc.

That's probably naughty, but hilarious.

As an Air Force member this sounds absolutely preposterous.

Conspiracy has always been 5 or more people conspiring to commit a crime. When did 4 get tossed in?

Wow, you went all in and got a Microsoft computer as well. That's brave.

Excellent. Thank you.
Ubuntu isn't the worst. Do you know if the offshoots from it support it? Thinking specifically Mint Cinnamon, etc.

Sounds like you have Malware. I put 32 GB in my system back home and rarely see it get above 8 GB in intense games even.
